JAAOS2018 Flashcards
Radiation dose relationship to proximity?
<div>radiation exposure DECREASES proportional to square of distance from source to surgeon (ie, small increases in distance = exponential decreases in radiation exposure)</div>
Types of radiation exposure effects?
Effects of Radiation<div><div>Exposure Deterministic</div><div>Effects Health consequences that occur after certain threshold of photons absorbed (eg, cataracts, hair loss, infertility)</div><div><br></br></div><div>Stochastic effects</div><div>Health consequences that occur randomly (each additional photon absorbed increases risk, but no threshold exists.) Mostly applied to health consequences as a result of DNA damage Eg, Cancer<br></br></div></div>
Most susceptible tissue to cancer induction from radiation? (higher number more sensitive)
“<img></img>”
Yearly radiation dose limit?
<div>20mSv/ year (ICRP), or 50mSv/year (NCRP). ICRP is international, and is the lower limit, so safer to use this one</div>

1 Sv of cumulative radiation exposure =<div>60% increase in risk of developing solid cancer</div><div>5% increase absolute risk of mortality from cancer</div><div>so, if exposure limit set at 20mSv/year, 50 years required before one is exposed to 1Sv, and getting the above mentioned risks</div><div><br></br></div><div>Cataract risk = same threshold risk for 20mSv/year</div><div><br></br></div><div>Offspring risk</div><div>Highest risk during 1st trimester (organogenesis)</div><div><br></br></div><div>Stochastic effect of increased fetal cancer risk RR of 1.4 for every 10mGy …but absolute risk of childhood cancer after 10mGy = 0.3%, and baseline absolute risk = 0.2%</div><div><br></br></div><div>ICRP still recommends prenatal radiation exposure limit of 0.5mSv/mo during pregnancy<br></br></div>
